Khai Dinh Tomb is among the most interesting tomb of the Nguyen Kings

Khai Dinh Tomb is 10km from Hue City and is among the most interesting tomb of the Nguyen Kings. The construction of Khai Dinh Tomb was started on 4th September, 1920 and works were done only after 11 years. Khai Dinh was the last king of the Nguyen Dynasty to build a tomb for himself. Most people like it in Vietnam tour.

Emperor Khai Dinh decided to locate his tomb imperial at the foot of the mountain Chau Chu, 9 kilometres south of the city of Hue. In comparison with the rest of imperial tombs, this imperial tomb is small in extent, little more than 5600 square meters, however its construction, decoration and details are very elaborate.
Plus, if the local tour guides are to be believed, Khai Dinh's tomb was purposefully designed to be difficult to visit - the tomb was built on the side of a mountain, and its inner sanctum is 127 steps up from street level, a fact that must have grated on the court officials who were required on pain of their lives to pay their respects to the late emperor.
Though Khai Dinh Tomb is much smaller compared to those of the preceding emperors, (surface area: 117m * 48.5m), what it lacks in size is more than made up by the intricate architectural detailing that has gone in the construction of the tomb, intermingling many architectural trends: Asian and European as well as modern and ancient.
